R U OK? There’s good news for isolation and loniness! SWIPE YALL... or hit the “save” for later!
_
Ought - God created us for relationship with himself. We were made to live in community with Him, and with others around us.

Is - But we chose to live life independently. We hide our true self from God and others. We feel isolated and lonely.

Can - Jesus came so that we can know God personally and belong to a loving community. It's here where we can be our truest self. "I will never leave nor forsake you."

Will - With Jesus in eternity, we will never experience loneliness again. Our need for relationship and connection will be fully and completely satisfied in Him.

Thanks
These nine verses are just a small sample size of everything the Bible has to say about fighting for justice.⁠⁣
⁠⁣
From Genesis to Revelation, it's clear that the call to stand for the oppressed is a core component of following Jesus. ⁠⁣
⁠⁣
These verses show us that we cannot deny the black experience. Doing so would not only go against everything it means to be a Christian, but it also denies the world from seeing an accurate picture of Jesus.⁠⁣
⁠⁣
As we navigate how to move forward and fight for racial reconciliation, let us be a people who are bold in standing for what is right no matter what is in our way.⁠⁣
⁠⁣
But we must remember, our goal is always unity. We might not all agree on HOW to fight for justice, but we can stand in solidarity that justice is the path we're called to. @ Reno, Nevada

Juneteenth is a holiday that helps us celebrate the beauty of the Imago Dei in the African American experience.

RP:
We are lamenting and grieving the murder of George Floyd. Our hearts are heavy that the black community continues to face a long standing history of racism and trauma. .
The journey towards racial justice is a marathon, not a sprint. Our POC brothers and sisters know this first hand. Often times the first question people (usually white people) ask when confronted with racism and systemic injustice is “what do I do now?” There is nothing inherently wrong with this question, but we want to challenge you to first ask yourself a few of these questions: “Do I see?” “Do I see prejudice in my own heart?”
“Do I see my privilege?”
“Do I really see all people as image bearers of God?” Jesus saw people. Saw the marginalized. Saw the oppression. Saw the hurt, grief, pain. Do I? .
Taking time to process the deeper heart questions paves the way for the journey to continue on instead of coming to a grinding halt when things get hard or uncomfortable. As we stand up, we must do the heart work of addressing what is within us and bringing those things before the Jesus. .
Here are some next steps we would encourage you to consider:
1. Spend time doing the ongoing heart work of personal confession, repentance and lamenting (see second slide for a few questions to consider)
2. Picking one resource (movie, book or podcast) to focus on, instead of choosing nothing because you are overwhelmed. (See third slide)
3. Spend time studying the Bible and building a solid theological understanding that racial justice is not simply a social issue. It is an integral part of the Kingdom of God that Jesus call us to.
If you want to process more or have thoughts or questions don’t hesitate to DM us.
